Chapter 538: Gunfire Explodes as Fast as Rain



This is a very cute hostel. The walls inside and outside and the handrails of the stairs are all white. The stairwell is covered with a blue carpet with yellow star patterns. The corridor-shaped staircase surrounds the patio. The light blue sky sneaks out from the glass of the patio, which is very dreamy. Koala really appreciates the style of this hotel, but it's just appreciation.

Yunluo's room was long and narrow, only wide enough for a single bed and a bedside table, but it looked very comfortable. There was a small wardrobe inside, and the floor-length curtains opened to a narrow garden behind Carlton Hill that belonged to this beautiful building. There was a washbasin and a desk with a mirror inside, and clean sanitary and bathing facilities were just across the corridor from the room.

When traveling, the moment you wake up is always magical, because when you first wake up, the first thing that comes to your mind is a feeling of not knowing where you are. It may only last for a second, but this feeling of confusion is unforgettable.

There is always a moment in your life that belongs to Edinburgh.

The beautiful city of Edinburgh, which has been praised in different ways by countless travelogues, is not big, but perhaps just a turn is a landscape. This city is not like any other city in the novel. Because it is small, you can measure every inch of the road in this city with your feet without hesitation. The undulating terrain constitutes Edinburgh's very unique terrain conditions.

Everywhere there are historic buildings made of original stone colors, and most of the roads are paved with original small stones or slabs. Being in it feels like being in a space that is very close to reality, yet completely different. This difference comes from all aspects.

Koala and Yunluo walked down the quietest and most beautiful path of the hostel, turned a corner, continued downhill, and arrived at a crossroads. The street in front of them was the famous Prince Street. Opposite was the train station. Yunluo always loved to take pictures of the house next to the train station, although it was not a tourist attraction.

But when Yunluo first set foot in Edinburgh, this beautiful building came into Yunluo's eyes, and then every time Yunluo passed by her, he would always take different portraits of her. Sometimes it was at dusk, sometimes at noon.

Princes Street Gardens is a very steep slope. Unlike our gardens, most British gardens are dominated by green lawns. It is early spring in Edinburgh. Although it is cold, the carefully trimmed and designed flowers and plants have bloomed, forming beautiful scenery in the green grass beside the seats.

Two children, shivering in the cold wind, stood at the intersection of the garden in traditional Scottish skirts, taking turns playing the bagpipes. The sound of the bagpipes resounded through the sky. It was obvious that such a large instrument was very difficult for these two children to play.

Yun Luo saw that one of the children stumbled from time to time when playing the flute, so after one child finished playing a piece of music, he took over from another child. They had blond hair and blue eyes, and were neatly dressed. Perhaps this was also part of their experience of life.

In cold weather, the benches on the roadside are deserted. But from time to time, there are citizens who sit back and enjoy the scenery, and there are many children playing on the lawn. However, as long as the sky is clear, the warmth of the sun immediately changes the look of the garden. Tourists and Edinburgh residents are more willing to sit for a while in such a large garden with a wide view.

Koala gently leaned against Yunluo. The two of them sat on the bench and could easily see Edinburgh Castle not far away. Moreover, this angle in the Prince's Garden, combined with the castle's mountain terrain, made the castle appear more majestic and ancient.

On the side close to Prince Street, a cavalryman stood on one side of the garden, his horse standing high on the stone steps, he was wearing a thick helmet, although the shadow covered his entire face, but one could always feel that he must be frowning, looking into the distance with a solemn and resolute gaze.

Every time I passed by him and looked up, it was always hard to look away. In the next two days, I passed by the statue from different angles. Sometimes he was standing in front of the castle, sometimes in a lovely house, or against the ancient and elegant roofs on Prince Street. It always felt like a picture that could be frozen.

The Scottish National Gallery is only across a bridge from the train station. The building is simple and novel, and inside it are countless huge oil paintings. Although the collections are not particularly large, each piece is a rare masterpiece. As far as the oil paintings are concerned, the openings are generally very large portraits and landscapes. The interior of the gallery is also very delicately maintained.

The staircase leading to the second floor is at the entrance. The elegant spiral shape and the symmetrically placed portraits of the sages on the wall add a sacred meaning to this art palace.

Walk to the back corridor of the art gallery, go up a high slope, follow the path on the map, and go directly to the top of the Royal Mile. Turn around and you can see Edinburgh Castle. Unlike other beautiful castles, Edinburgh Castle is not very high, and its appearance is more like a sturdy and practical defensive castle.

Koala and Yunluo Along the Royal Mile are various tourist souvenir shops. Edinburgh's various folk costumes, daggers, men's sheepskin coats and scarves are almost the theme of this street.

Near the castle, on the left hand side there is a very popular non-mainstream attraction in Edinburgh, called the Photography and Light Museum. The name is difficult to pronounce. It is located in a small tower building, but the interior is really interesting. Each floor of the Light Museum has a different theme and different tricks to deceive the vision.

From the dark room with infinite prisms and the dizzying corridors, to many couples, spouses and groups of friends playing together, this museum is probably the only place in Yunluo's trip where he truly felt lonely, because Yunluo could not play with these magical toys with his friends like other people.

Going up layer by layer, each layer is full of new and interesting things. The one that left a deep impression on Yunluo was a naked eye 3D game, where people stood in the middle, half of a painting was posted on the wall, and the other side was a mirror, which reflected the portrait on the opposite side, but it was reversed left and right. This was just a print with ordinary precision, and there were not many details when you looked at it alone.

But once people stand in the middle, the information received by the eyes is summarized in the brain, and the things seen in front of them not only become three-dimensional instantly, but also become three-dimensional after careful observation. It is found that the ordinary buildings and objects without texture originally derived from the 2D plane have become full of texture and body feeling in the current image.

You can even feel whether these buildings are made of concrete or stone, which is really magical. There is always a long queue on the top floor, which is also the place where the origin of this museum is revealed. About a century ago, the owner of the house set up a giant lens above the tower, and in this closed top floor hall.

He projected the view of Edinburgh observed by this lens onto a circular screen. As the direction of the lens rotated, the view in the darkroom also moved, and moving people and cars could be seen on the circular screen. At that time, this was an extremely magical place, and now it has become the last stop of the Light and Shadow Museum.

The Royal Mile is full of tourists from all over the world. The shops are full of various sheep and silk products. I found that compared with the souvenir shops opened by Chinese and Indian people, which are full of goods, the shops opened by Edinburgh people are more orderly. The goods sold are of better quality and more affordable.

Our Highland tour guide repeatedly told us that we must go in and see the Edinburgh Cathedral on the Royal Mile. Only when we got inside did we realize that what he said was true and that it was not just the people of Edinburgh bragging about their own church. The stained glass craftsmanship in the Edinburgh Cathedral may really be the best in Europe.

Perhaps because this church is famous for its extremely exquisite stained glass windows, you can take photos here for a fee of about 2 pounds. Yunluo paid the 2-pound license fee to the traffic worker in accordance with the rules, and then put the sticker that allows taking photos on his arm. The old man laughed when he saw Yunluo's action.

There is no one in charge of photography inside the church, so paying the fee is entirely voluntary. The number of stained glass windows in the church is very large compared to the overall size of the church, and the figures in each stained glass window are complex in composition and gorgeous in clothing. The stained glass windows even clearly express the light and dark relationship between the faces of the figures and the folds of their clothes.

On countless stained glass windows, scenes of the saints' lives are vividly presented in various scenes. The National Museum of Scotland is located next to the University of Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh does not have a very luxurious campus, but is just a huge building with a long history. Strictly speaking, it is more like a government office.

The entrance to the National Museum of Scotland is hidden in a corner of the building. If it weren't for the huge sign on the wall next to it, it would be hard to believe that this is a museum.

Once you enter, you'll find that the museum is huge and is decorated with bright colors. All handrails and corridors are white, and the glass ceiling and white steel frame structure give the entire museum a relaxed, lovely, warm and transparent feeling.

It was also this museum that completely updated Yunluo's concept of museums. In this museum, one can find almost all kinds of things, from ancient machinery, instruments for observing astrology, to steam engine models, modern airplane racing cars, animal and plant specimens, Egyptian mummies, Dolly the sheep specimens, to the first videophone.

Various Asian religious collections and even statues of military officers placed in ancestral halls in China are displayed in a museum in a mixed manner, completely breaking the original concept of classifying museums. The so-called "museum" is fully reflected here.

Koala and Yunluo walked along Prince Street and arrived at the foot of Carlton Hill. In fact, the distance and height of this hillside from the city were only at the level of a mound. There was a towering tower on the top of the mountain, followed by a Roman-style temple and colonnade. Unfortunately, the project was only half completed because the government was short of funds and could not be completed.

But it is these modern man-made ruins that make the sunrise and sunset of Calton Hill so beautiful and attract many tourists. Standing on Calton Hill, you can see the dense Edinburgh cityscape, which is sometimes brilliant and sometimes gloomy under the changing clouds of the sunset, and the Roman colonnade standing against the blue transparent background, which is really a kind of indescribable beauty.

That day, the local TV station in Edinburgh was filming a public service advertisement. Women in business suits, professional athletes, and an elderly man who looked like a doctor used bicycles as props to take a series of photos in front of the temple colonnade at sunset. The whole process was very visual, and it was not difficult to find that they were extremely interesting and friendly during the filming of the advertisement.

Tourists climbed up the steps of the colonnade to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but only a few people could climb the entire colonnade. The first step of the stone steps was about the height of the koala's collarbone, and according to the koala's physical strength, the stone wall under the stone steps was tightly closed and there was no place to stand, so it was almost impossible to climb up.

There are really too many ways to live. We don’t have to know the road ahead precisely before we move forward. Sometimes fate is an unknown line. Even if we plan well, we can’t predict when and where fate will suddenly turn. Yunluo’s expression is not any disparagement or doubt to those of us who like to plan for the long-term future.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There aren't many pedestrians on the streets of Edinburgh at night, and the street lights aren't fully lit. The complex terrain and the crisscrossing alleys make it a little scary to walk alone, but Edinburgh has good public security. After walking for a while, you'll find that this is a rare place where you can enjoy a quiet night walk, quiet and dark, but absolutely safe.

That beautiful sunset became Yunluo's final memory of Edinburgh, beautiful sky, beautiful buildings, beautiful people. Maybe one day, Yunluo will come back and live here. Until Yunluo wants to leave again. If the girl Yunluo loves is by his side, that would be true happiness.

We took the train to the next destination. Yunluo still had the impression that the Lake District was gloomy, rainy, and damp, but with a sense of comfort and peace. However, during this trip to the UK, the Lake District once again gave Koala and Yunluo a surprise.

Looking out the window, Yunluo was distracted for a while. Musical notes were beating in Yunluo's mind, and Yunluo's emotions were jumping along with it. When we arrived, the weather was clear. There were two tracks to the train station, one was only connected to the outside, and the other was from here to the lake area and other towns.

Although the line is short, it stops at several villages in the middle. There are dozens of Chinese women carrying bags standing on the platform next to it. From women to girls, it is obvious that it is a group of mothers and daughters.

As soon as the train arrived, the mothers and daughters boarded the train very quickly and found a place to sit. The Lake District is the place with the lowest density of Chinese people during this trip to Europe. I hardly saw Chinese people living in the country, and those who came here to travel were only in groups of two or three. It was not very common.

After arriving at the station, according to the guide Yunluo used to book a hotel, the hotel should be near the train station, but Yunluo still had some doubts about the direction. However, during this trip, every time he lost his way, he saw the direction most people were walking, and as long as he followed, he basically never made any mistakes.

This time, Yun Luo followed the crowd out of the station and turned left. He wanted to ask for directions, but the only two staff members were already surrounded by tourists and had no time, so he had to give up. When he came out of the tourist center, he turned around and saw the hotel he had booked standing on the corner of the street. It was very conspicuous, a three-story building.

Koala was too lazy to walk anymore, so Yunluo stayed in the hotel with the little princess.

The night was cold and it was already early morning. Yun Luo was sleeping peacefully, just like an ordinary person. Nalan Shiqi was sleeping soundly holding a pink rabbit doll. Around the hotel, there were several bodyguards who were not sleeping. There were Chinese national security agents, Ba Xia evolvers, retired special forces, external martial arts masters, and internal martial arts masters. They were all members of the bodyguard group of the little Koala Princess.

The Qin Consortium is very rich, and money can make anything possible. Koala's bodyguards even have two stake sniper rifles, and every member is allowed to join after being vetted by China's national security. The Qin Consortium provides the money, the national security provides the manpower, and Baxia provides the people, which is how Koala's bodyguards came into being, but there are no high-level evolvers.

Just before one o'clock, more than a dozen huge waves of true energy surged into the sky nearby, and among them was a ninth-level evolver! The little princess's bodyguards were on high alert and shrank their protection circle to avoid contact with those evolvers who were fighting for their lives. They all sneaked into the hotel and did not stay outside.

Against the backdrop of chaos in the black domains all over the world, it is obvious that the British Pantheon cannot remain immune. There are also many level eights who have given up their domain paths and taken the path of strength to be promoted to level nine with the secret support of other level ten beings. Therefore, these level nines are the traitors that the Pantheon must eradicate.

The longer the three level 10 demigods disappeared, the more serious the unrest in the Black Domain became. There was a bloodbath with human lives piled up, and a new power structure was reorganized through the reshuffle among the major evolutionary organizations. Without the demigods to suppress their national destiny, the three major countries of the United States, China, and Russia would naturally be spied on by the level 10 beings of other countries.

There were dense gunshots like low whistling roars. The faces of the two men in the Koala Bodyguard Group who were controlling the stake sniper rifles changed. The gunshots were clearly unique to the stake sniper rifles. Obviously, there was a fight among the evolvers not far away, but it was not known whether the military was hunting the evolvers or the evolvers were killing each other.

Yun Luo, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes silently in the darkness. There was a level nine fight, and he enjoyed watching the fun. Gloating over other people's misfortunes was one of his nature. He moved and disappeared in the room. Only the bedroom window opened and closed silently as if blown by the wind.

Level 6 three stars, level 9 combat power, Baxia Sword Demon, just to watch the fun, brazenly went out! (To be continued...)
